[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this has probably been answered a million times but I am trying to piece this together for my situation.

I’m 36...I should have done this 10 years ago but I didn’t.  I think I may want to have a bio kid in next 3 years but I am not ready right now.  My friends are saying to freeze some embryos like ASAP to give me that option [b]in like a year or two [/b]when I am more likely to be ready.  This is all being delayed bc of career.

Where should I go in DC for this?  How do I decide?  I assume this is all out of pocket (bc I am doing it voluntarily) so I guess I am not totally cost insensitive.  Would be ideal to keep this under $10k.[/quote]

This makes no sense, unless you have some reason to think you or spouse have fertility issues that you didn't mention. Most women can get pregnant at 37 or 38. I have significant genetic fertility issues, but even I was fine at that age.

What career is so intense that it requires you to delay kids at 36, but also doesn't pay enough that you can afford an IVF cycle? Assuming there is some financial payoff to delaying kids for your career (like you're a surgeon in training or trying to make partner at a law firm or something), you could finance the IVF and pay it off later.[/quote]

OP here.  I could pay for it now - I could pay any of these amounts now.  But since I am doing this out of abundance of caution and to have access to younger eggs, I was hoping to keep it around $10k.  If $20k is what it takes, that’s fine and doable, I just wasn’t sure since I wasn’t doing a full IVF cycle at this stage.[/quote]
